Racial equality POLL

Sixty years after civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. gave his monumental “I Have a Dream” speech at the March on Washington advocating for racial equality for all Americans, particularly Black Americans, a new Pew Research survey found that more than one in three Republicans say these efforts have gone “too far.”

The report — based on a survey of 5,073 U.S. adults and conducted April 10-16 online — analyzed Americans’ views of progress on racial equality six decades removed from the height of the civil rights movement. Its findings revealed that 37% of Republicans say efforts to ensure equality for all, regardless of race and ethnicity, have gone too far.

In contrast, just 24% of Republicans say these efforts have not gone far enough. Most Democrats, or 78%, agree, compared to just 6% of Democrats who say that efforts have gone too far.
